245 tires

Just wanted to let everyone know, I'm running 245/35-19's in the rear.
I had to cut the plastic tabs, but otherwise no problems. Heavy cornering
with 4 people still didn't rub. If I roll the fenders it looks as if I'll have
room to go 255/35-19 if I wanted. But, thats a bit too much rubber.

Wheels are 47 offset. When I get a chance to replace my scrached
up rim I think I'll make the rears 19x8.5. The dough I was gonna use
to get a digi cam I used to replace my blown tire... so you all just have
to wait to see. But, 245s looks good... Oh and they're s03 pole positions.

damn closer, your ride is clean son son...im really surprised you have that much room...i hate hearing scrubbing sounds from the rear, that's why I sold my rims...i wouldn't mind getting 19X8's with 245's on all fours:eek:...Shyne:king:
oh and how do you know they will have a 19X8.5 in the same offset...can you use the center piece and replace the outer lip...isn't that how 3piece rims work??? Shyne:king:
Wow, you actually went w/ the bigger tires. I wanted to get the so3s too, but for some reason they said that the 235/35/19 size tires were discontinued even though it hadn't even came out yet. Oh well, let's see some pic asap.
Hey Closer,

What kind of Spring/Coilover do you have? What's the drop amount??
I've never heard of anyone putting wider wheels on a front wheel drive car.... So... How did the handling change?? Are the wheels width sizes the same b/w front and rear currently??

Pls post pix!
Well, on occasion I get a little rubbing from the rear. But, that
was with 4 guys in the car and hard cornering with slight bump.
While its super rare, I do rub a bit. I checked the clearance in the
front. 235 is as wide as I can go in the front. With 235 I'm very
close to the strut, so 245 would certainly make it undrivable. I
could lower the offset, but then I'm guarenteed to rub the front
fenders so I'll have to stay where I'm at. I know traffic star
makes a 19x8.5 in a 53 offset. So in the rear I could have
another quarter inch in lip. May not sound like much but I think it
would look noticable. btw, I have comptech springs and the
wider tires are on the rear. So no traction improvement. But
the S0/3's do ride better than my yokohamas even though I have
only replaced the rears so far. I hope they decide to release the
235/35 S0/3's.

I'm working on getting myself a digi cam. I'm in serious waste
money mode again... :( I may have to force myself to wait on this...
